Which of the following specifies the correct standard procurement process for Spare Parts:
-
Manual PO – Manual GR – Manual IR
-
Manual PR – Auto PO – Manual GR – Manual IR
-
MRP Requisition – Auto PO – Manual GR – Manual IR
-
None of the above
The standard procurement process for Spare Parts (typically MRP items) follows the MRP-driven workflow: MRP runs and generates a requisition automatically, the requisition is converted to a Purchase Order (automatically or manually), Goods Receipt is confirmed manually upon material delivery, and Invoice Receipt is processed manually against the GR. Manual PO initiation (A) bypasses MRP. Manual PR initiation (B) is possible but not the 'standard' MRP process. Option C correctly describes the integrated MRP-to-pay process.
For spare parts, the standard flow starts with a system-generated requisition from MRP (since spares are typically stock/reorder-point managed), which is then auto-converted to a Purchase Order, followed by a manual Goods Receipt and manual Invoice Receipt once the parts physically arrive and the vendor bills. This differs from fully manual PR/PO flows used for one-off or non-stock purchases.
